Purpose The primary aim of this study was to explore the key physiological and metabolic responses of tigernut inoculated with the plant growth-promoting endophyte (PGPE) Pantoea sp. YSD J2 under varying NaCl concentrations. Methods The salt tolerance, colonization ability, and growth-promoting potential of YSD J2 were evaluated at different NaCl concentrations. The physiological and metabolic responses of tigernut inoculated...

Fish meal (FM) replacement is essential for sustainable aquaculture development. This study investigated the effects of FM replacement with poultry by-product meal (PBM) on growth performance, hepatic and intestinal health and ammonia nitrogen stress resistance in mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). A 52-day feeding trial was conducted using PBM to replace fish meal at levels of 0%, 17.5%, 35.0%, 52.5% and 70.0%. The results sh...
